Science journal forming for high-school students

An Ohio teen who loves science and wants to foster scientific exploration among high-school students is starting an academic research journal — and she’s looking for like-minded teens who want to join her.

En KephalosTeen Science will give students a place to publish their scientific research. Founded by Anamika Veeramani, currently a sophomore in high school, the journal will be overseen by an advisory board of representatives from colleges, high schools and hospitals.

The journal is seeking candidates for several editor positions, as well as a marketing coordinator and a web designer. The deadline to apply for these positions is April 25, 2012.

The journal also is looking for research to publish. High-school students can submit articles about their original research, or reviews that summarize a body of research done by others.
